DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new animal vase device embodying the principles andconcepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated bythe reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the plush animal vase assembly10 generally comprises a stuffed animal 12 that has a container well 14integrated therein. The stuffed animal 12 has a body 16, a head 18, apair of arms 20 and a pair of legs 22. The head 18 has a crown 24 andthe container well 14 extends into the crown 24 and downwardly into thebody 16. The stuffed animal 12 may be a teddy bear, a cartoon characteror any other type of stuffed animal 12.

A vase 26 is provided and the vase 26 is insertable into the containerwell 14. In this way the vase 26 can display a floral arrangement 28 inconjunction with the stuffed animal 12. The vase 26 has a bottom end 30and a top end 32, and the top end 32 is open. The container well 14insertably receives the bottom end 30 having the top end 32 being spacedfrom the crown 24 of the head 18 when the vase 26 is seated in thecontainer well 14. The vase 26 may be a glass floral vase or any othertype of container for displaying plants.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
